Mr. L. F. Johnson: “I am one of | the rangers, have been over my dis- trict in the wooded portion where they are operating several times dur-| ing the winter and I have taken the| matter up with the jobber and the logger, talked with them in regard; to the disposal of slash and tried to| find out from them what I could in! the way of costs and expense and i find that there is considerable dif-| ference in their views. 1 I found the little fellow that is| operating in the jack pine says that by burning from the commencement | of the operations that he can dis- pose of his debris about as cheaply as he could if he let it go until spring. I have talked with some parties in the white pine and Nor-| way and they tell me that they can't see but what as long as they have got to burn it, they can burn it as cheap when they proceed with the work, as it helps with skidding. i how and in some cases they would have to handle it twice if they did not burn it as the work progressed. I talked with one man that has had considerable experience in burning brush and logging. He has been on ging started on the reservation, But he did not like to commit himself as to the cost. But what information I could get from him is that it did not exceed fifty cents, that it had cost from sixteen to fifty cents as near as T could get it from him. We can’t expect that the lumberman at the present time is going to go to any great expense for posterity, but ev- ery good citizen wants to take hold of this work and try to leave to his posterity the best that he can.” i Hard to Figure Cost. ’? Mr. Sam Simpson: “I can tell you all I know in a very few words. I have had some experience in brush burning. T have been compelled to burn brush under very rigid rules. T have had to burn it and I have had| to burn it right and if I did not, I would have been kicked off the res- ervation. I don’t think there is a man who can tell the cost of burning brush. I think it is an utter impossibility to put a man in the woods and keep | track of every item separate. If it can be done, it is by somebody who! is smarter than I am. I have been on the reservation seven winters anf I have worked on the best part of the reservation, as far as burning| brush is concerned, and [ have worked in places where it was as bad pretty near as anything in the state of Minnesota. This winter I had two camps in a stand of Nor-; way pine and nothing else. You could not get a switch big enough to whip a cat. And where I had a hun- dred men in the camp, a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five. I had twenty to twenty-five men to burn the brush. They did the swamping but there was no swamping to be done. The trees had to be trimmed. That had to-be done anyway. There were that many men trimming the trees and burning the brush. You can easily see what it cost me. “It cost me seventy-five cents to burn the brush. I had some that cost me a dollar and a half to burn the brush, as near as I could tell. There is only oen way. I have piled brush in the winter and burned it in the spring and there is another way but there is only one way and that is to burn it as you go, regardless of what it costs, because it will cost you more to do it the other way, If you go to work to burn brush in the state of Minnesota as it is burned pn the reservation, in order to protect the forest, every stick of timber that a man owns in the state of Minne- sota, it is worth a dollar and a half a thousand less.” W. A. Gould: “I think the object of this meeting is to get a point be- tween the view of the man that is in the corporation (the corporation organizes for a short time with only one point in view and that is to make dividends for the stockholders) and the other side of the question, for- estry or re-forestration. From the view of the corporation, that corpo- ration is organized to make money and the superintendent of logging is« sent out with the expectation that he will get those logs out at the least possible cost. On the other hand the forestry board is looking ahead to the saving of what timber the log- | ger doesn’t take and the future wel- fare of the state. “I think that the expression by Mr. Barton gives us a fair idea of the line between the two propositions. If the corporation or logger had his way, he would go in and take out the timber that he wants, do it as quickly as possible, and make as much money as possible and get out of the country as quickly as possible. I think that is the basis of most Jum- bermen in the state of Minnesota. Brush Burning High, “I tried burning brush myself this winter and I don’t think that a $1.50 would anywhere near cover the ex- pense of burning brush on a forty of land to the amount of one hundred thousand and perhaps one hundred thousand of other kind of lumber scattered over the forty. It cost me at least $2 a thousand this winter. On the other hand, I think maybe Mr. Simpson may be a little too high when you come to the actual cost of burning brush to whip a cat. Another proposition is the cedar, the man who takes the cedar from the cedar swamp. It makes a lot of brush. To take that and burn it as he goes along, that is almost impos- sible. It would eat up all the stump- age. I don’t think it is necessary to burn the brush. That is a cedar swamp. It won't do any harm, There are other cases where I do not think it proper to ask us to burn the brush. The condition of the ground, the amount of timber re- moved and the kind of timber should be taken' into consideration in mak- ing rules in regard to the burning of brush.” (Continued Saturday). The Houn’ Dawg Song. (As Kipling would have written it). ’E’s yeller and ’e’s dirty and ’e’s old; ”s as low a dog as ever you could see, 'E’s a bloomin’ little bum, but ’e’s my pal and ’e’s my chum, An’ the blok wot kicks my dawg must fight with me. So it’s slow there! Whoa there! Let that puppy be there! ‘0o d’ yer think yer kickin’ with yer bloomin’ blarsted boot? An’ it’s hey there! Say there! If you don’t go way there, An’ leave that dog alone, I'll up an’ bust you in the snoot. Unearned Praise. He was only a poor little messenger boy. When the young woman stepped in- {o the elevator of the first floor of the Williamson building it was crowd- ed with big men--and that messenger boy. In an instant the boy snatched | his hat from his head. One by one, but with shamed blushes, the men in the elevator fol- lowed suit. The young woman was not handsome, but she was neat and trim and self-possessed. Quickly she turned to the lad and said: * “You -are a little gentleman—one of the old-fashioned sort!” and she flash- ed a wonderfully sweet smile upon bim. The child looked at her in amaze- ment. He had been fumbling with his cap, but now he found the message he had stuck in its sweatband, took it out, stuck his cap on his head and be- gan to whistle. Ants Eat Through Lead Cables. White ants are causing much: trou. ble in South Australia in telephune cables and also in the underground electric light lines. On the lead sheathed telephone cables crosses be- tween the circuits began to occur. Upon withdrawing some of this cable from the ducts it was found that the ants had eaten through the lead in many places. On the Sidney system of electric lighting the ants ate through the bitumen compound and then through the lead and high ten- sion insulation next to the wire. To stop the ravages which will incur an enormous expense if° not checked, arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen, a sort of pitch, is being applied to the cables. Carbon bisulphide is also be- ing trled with the idea that the odor| will drive the ants away. | | — FASHION again favors Spring and the Mora rough shapes meet every demand for this type of hat. that characterizes all Mora hats is maintained in the Mora rough shapes. and textures is of sufficient scope to satisfy every taste. ular shapes and shades Mora hats are right. the rough soft hats for ‘The same superior quality The variety of effects, colors In soft or stiff hats, in pop- Sold by l«’:flim“iw dealers cvery- where.
